I use no proxy web server for the moment.
The nodebb forum is listen on port 4567 on my debian box.
There is no routing to configure i guess (sorry total noob with node.js and redis)?
I mean the proxy web is just for accessing the forum directly with no port number in the url (plus avoid the nodebb to listen on 0.0.0.0 but only on the loopback)?

Hello Guys,
thanks for the answers.
I tried to complety remove redis-server and reinstall it (purging conf files).
Then the setup finally prompted me with questions for an admin account.
But it fails as usual (pexpire in the logs).

Then i updated the redis server to version 2.8.17.

I finally managed to authenticated, but i have a blank page with:
""[[success:authentication-successful]]"

And that's all!!
What else?

Another hint: it's very slow, and my admin account is often locked, wonder it there's no network problem.

I didn't mention that i used nodebb with no frontal webserver, directly on port tcp 4567.

EDIT: it finally works, have to remove /users/ from the url and i got the admin menu.
There's no redirection to the main page after a sucessful login?

Nope.
I deactivated the ssh tunnel but i'm still stuck.
As i'm a total noob on redis i still don't know what happens.
The documentation is unclear about how to do such a simple thing
I'm surprised to be the only one who is stuck at this early stage, did i miss something?

EDIT: got this message in nodebb log:
info: NodeBB attempting to listen on: 0.0.0.0:4567
info: NodeBB is now listening on: 0.0.0.0:4567
info: [meta/css] Done.
node_redis: no callback to send error: ERR unknown command 'pexpire'

Hello there.
I just installed nodebb version NodeBB v0.5.0-4 on my debian box.
I cannot authenticate for admin panel.
I try different topics on the subject with no luck.
I ran nodebb setup but the script never mention an admin account (only a password for the redis database and a 'Nodebb secret')

I tried the nodebb secret as a password but nothing happens, i'm stuck with the message "Logging in" and that's it.
Nothing interesting in the logs too.

I use an ssh tunnel to redirect the traffic because i run nodebb on the localhost (don't think this is the problem).

Thanks for your help.
